In case you’re looking for a command-line tool that detects the presence of an SSD (Solid State Drive) or whether the hard disk uses advanced disk format then here’s a nice utility from HP called the HP Advance Format Check tool.

Note that the tool only works on HP notebooks. A list of supported models can be found here

The software can be downloaded from the HP Software and Drivers website and includes a 32 and 64 Bit version of the AF-CHECK utility as well as a vbscript and detailed documentation.
